Chapter 167 Unique Advantages
"Okay!" Fu Xiaojian was the first to extend his hand, his face showing genuine welcome.
"Welcome to the Salary Train Team."
Chen Pei looked at the hand extended in front of him, seemed to hesitate for a moment, but he finally reached out and shook hands with Fu Xiaojian.
His hands were damp and cold, with a strange feel to them, as if he were holding not flesh and blood, but a handful of flowing water, yet still retaining the distinct joints of a young boy.
"Thank you," he repeated, his voice still low and hoarse.
Tang Jinxiu also came over. She seemed to be still not used to the succubus sequence power surging in her body, and her steps were a little unsteady, but her eyes were much brighter.
She bowed slightly to Fu Xiaojian and Xu Si.
"Thank you, and thank you all!"
"Since we're all on the same side, there's no need to be polite."
"Oh, right, I forgot to ask, are those water snakes one of your special abilities? Do you know where we can find gasoline around here?" Fu Xiaojian asked, as the convoy was currently in dire need of gasoline.
"That's 'Ten Thousand Snakes,' a derivative of my trait 'Autumn Like a Knife.' My other two traits, 'Spring Like a Butter,' are recovery traits; and 'Summer Like a Waterfall,' is an area-of-effect trait."
Seemingly to show trust, Chen Pei gave a brief introduction.
"Huh? Why do your characteristics sound so nice? Spring is like butter? Summer is like a waterfall? Autumn is like a knife? What about winter?" The little girl was indeed very supportive, making Chen Pei want to turn into rain and disappear.
"Are you stupid? Winter is snow!" Xu Si said irritably.
"Nonsense, there's no snow in Shenzhen in winter!" The little girl wasn't wrong.
"I'm sorry, Jiao Jiao didn't mean any harm!" Fu Xiaojian helped relieve Chen Pei's stress.
Chen Pei forced a smile and continued, "There's a gas station nearby!"
Fuel was of little use to the two of them, but it was indispensable for the team.
Xu Si had just noticed that the buildings in this area were significantly lower than those in other parts of the city, so it must be some kind of old town in Tongzhou!
Perhaps it was also a helpless choice made to avoid those "building ghouls".
Because those people seem to prefer tall buildings.
"Besides those [building deer]? Oh! You mean those deer that are as tall as buildings, are there any other strange things here?" Xu Si asked.
He felt that such a large city shouldn't only have these strange occurrences, so he thought it would be safer to ask the locals.
"There used to be some strange things made of rainwater, which were very difficult to deal with, but ever since those deer took over this place, no other strange things have come in!" Chen Pei explained.
Xu Si thought that Chen Pei was probably referring to the Rain Demons, but those Rain Demons were probably no match for the [Lou Mi], or rather, they were very likely just food for the Lou Mi.
"Those who came today are only a small part. I've even seen one that's bigger than a lake... [Lou Mi]!" Chen Pei added after thinking for a moment.
Then isn't he almost the same as the "Hibernator"?
Xu Si also saw shock in Fu Xiaojian's eyes. Bigger than a lake?
How big would that be?
If Chen Pei wasn't exaggerating, it means that at least one [Lou Mi Wang], possibly a mid-level or even high-level Weird, is lurking in this city.
This poses a far more direct threat than the Time Delay Mirage they encountered in the Gobi Desert—the latter, at least, is inherently fragile and has specific weaknesses.
"Have you seen any other racing teams here?" Fu Xiaojian asked the most crucial question.
Chen Pei and Tang Jinxiu were the only living people they encountered in the city, but that doesn't mean no other people or convoys had come here.
Chen Pei remained silent for a moment, then shook his head.
If they had been there, they probably would have left long ago.
"However, those 'building rabble' rioted not long ago, perhaps they were attracted by something!" Tang Jinxiu interjected, as if she had thought of something.
It almost scared her to death; the commotion was like the sky had fallen.
"How far is the gas station from here? Is it safe on the road?" Xu Si brought the topic back to reality.
The threat of swarms of swarms is ongoing, but the fleet's fuel crisis is imminent.
"Not far, just two streets away, there's an old state-owned gas station. [Lou Mi] rarely comes here; they only like high places," Chen Pei pointed in a direction.
"If you need me, I can take you there now. My 'Ten Thousand Serpents' has a very wide monitoring range!"
This is a huge advantage.
Chen Pei's "Rain Man" series thrives in this rainy city.
His perception and mobility greatly enhance the safety and efficiency of convoy operations.
"Okay, thank you!" Fu Xiaojian made a quick decision.
"By the way, our convoy is migrating all the way, so if you don't have a vehicle..."
"Yes! There's a perfectly good RV in the theater!"
They chose this place because Lou Mi rarely comes here, and also because of the RV.
Whether you're cooking, resting, or taking a shower, it's a great option.
"That would be perfect!"
When Tang Jinxiu drove the RV out, Xu Si was truly amazed. The RV was even bigger than Shao Bing's ambulance, but only slightly smaller than a bus.
"A Mercedes-Benz Sprinter Celebrity Luxury Custom Edition!" Fu Xiaojian blurted out. This is a must-have for celebrities when traveling.
Xu Si was a country bumpkin who only recognized car logos, while Fu Xiaojian knew them all like the back of his hand.
However, upon seeing this car body, Xu Si suddenly felt that his Conqueror was no longer appealing.
This car alone could easily buy their entire fleet!
After rejoining the other vehicles in the convoy, led by Chen Pei's Wanshe, the convoy headed towards the gas station, as the RV seemed to be running low on fuel.
Turning the corner, an old-fashioned state-owned gas station came into view.
The red and white awning is somewhat rusted, but the structure is generally intact.
Several refueling machines stood silently, their covers rusted beyond recognition, yet miraculously, they were not badly damaged.
"This is it." Chen Pei wasn't in the RV, but was leading the way in Fu Xiaojian's Warrior.
"The fuel dispensers are out of service, but there is still a lot of fuel in the underground storage tanks."
He usually comes here to pick up his fuel, since the RV also needs fuel.
"Tell them to open the fuel tank cap!" Chen Pei said.
"Stop the car! Everyone open the fuel tank caps!" Fu Xiaojian said over the walkie-talkie.
Then everyone witnessed a miraculous scene.
Without the need for machinery, the underground gasoline is drawn by an invisible hand, transforming into several murky oil streams that are precisely injected into the fuel tanks of each vehicle.
The entire process was quiet, efficient, and had a surreal sense of fluidity.
"What are you standing there for? Go inside and see if there are any more oil drums. Bring them all out, fill them up, and take them with you!" Fu Xiaojian was also a little stunned, but he was the first to react.
The crowd looked at the amazing young man with admiration, placing the containers they had collected from the car on the ground while they roughly searched the gas station.
Fu Xiaojian realized that he had underestimated Chen Pei's importance.
Xu Si's car was almost full of gas, but he didn't miss the opportunity to collect containers.
More fuel means less anxiety.
Even though his car was fully loaded, it should be fine to put it in Su Su's pickup truck!
Guided by the star trail, he rummaged through a dilapidated office and found several plastic buckets covered in grease.
His star trails seem to have a unique advantage in gathering resources.
